Mission
Deliver precise, comfortable, and personalized dental care — combining AI-driven diagnostics with the warmth of a neighborhood clinic.
Modern, patient-centered dentistry in New York City, powered by advanced technology and compassionate care.
Centre Dental was founded to bring modern, AI-powered dentistry to the heart of New York City — without losing the personal warmth a great clinic should have. Dr. John Shi and his team combine Columbia DDS training with 20+ years of clinical mastery to deliver care that's precise, gentle and personalized to every patient.
From routine cleanings to full-mouth reconstruction, every treatment is planned with AI-assisted diagnostics, 3D imaging and same-day technology. Cosmetic veneers, dental implants, Invisalign clear aligners, emergency dentistry — all under one roof, all delivered with comfort-focused care.
For patients who travel from far away, have limited mobility, or simply have busy NYC schedules, we offer same-day dentistry for crowns, bridges, veneers and full-arch restorations. Multilingual staff (English, Mandarin, Cantonese) make sure every patient is heard and every plan understood.
Three principles guide every decision we make in the chair — and behind it.
Deliver precise, comfortable, and personalized dental care — combining AI-driven diagnostics with the warmth of a neighborhood clinic.
Make advanced dental care more accessible and trusted for NYC patients — a place where modern technology meets compassionate humanity.
Comfort, precision, transparency, long-term health — the four principles that shape every consultation, plan and treatment we deliver.
Modern technology, human warmth — combined in a way that's hard to find anywhere else in the city.
Cerec, iTero 5D, CBCT 3D imaging, Solea® laser, AI diagnostics — equipment that lets us deliver same-day, predictable results.
